Reinsve acted in the film Armand directed by Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel which will premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. The film has described the film as "A story about boundaries - not mainly between the kids, but between the adults involved.
Who decides where to set them? What is an assault, what is play, what is consent, and what is privacy?". In 2023 it was announced that Reinsve would reunite with Joachim Trier for the family drama film Sentimental Value. Filming will commence in the fall of 2024.
